Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Ashling
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in West Ashling
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What we are called out for in West Ashling
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
